Hello,
I'm facing a problem with multipath & iscsi on debian 8.4 (up to date).
I've installed multipath-tools and open-iscsi.
iscsi works fine, and if I run systemctl restart multipath-tools, multipath -ll show the multipath volume. Everything is ok.
After a reboot, iscsi targets are OK, but multipath does not show any volume. I have to restart it by hand to bring the multipath volume up.
I guess it's because on system startup, multipath-tools is launched befors open-iscsi. open-iscsi seems to be systemd compliant, but not multipath-tools.
in dmesg :
...
[ 35.673974] device-mapper: multipath: version 1.10.0 loaded
[ 35.703844] device-mapper: multipath round-robin: version 1.0.0 loaded
...
[ 37.591062] Loading iSCSI transport class v2.0-870.
[ 37.622424] iscsi: registered transport (tcp)
[ 37.700250] iscsi: registered transport (iser)
...
in /etc/rc?.d, I have :
root@virtm6:/etc# find rc?.d -name 'S*open-iscsi'
rcS.d/S20open-iscsi
root@virtm6:/etc# find rc?.d -name 'S*multipath-tools'
rc2.d/S02multipath-tools
rc3.d/S02multipath-tools
rc4.d/S02multipath-tools
rc5.d/S02multipath-tools
What would be the best way to fox this problem ?
Regards,
Cédric
